Tickled pink to help cancer

Nov 1 2008 by Andrew Hirst, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

OCTOBER has been breast cancer awareness month.

Several charities that raise money to support people with breast cancer or fund research into the disease come together to raise money. All share the same distinctive pink ribbon symbol.

Yesterday was Wear It Pink day for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, while last Friday Breast Cancer Care staged its national In The Pink day.

People and businesses across Huddersfield donned pink to raise thousands of pounds.

Here is a round-up of some of the events.
